Over And In, Lies Told Through Sin, While Everyone's Lost, The Battle Is Won, With All These Things That I've Done

Today was filled with nothing but total relaxation trying to recuperate from yesterday's activities. I got a mild burn on my back and face, and i was also just overall sore as only the beach can leave you. I did manage to go on a quick five miler though, even with my muscles aching from yesterday. I finished nicely with a surprisingly quick final mile of 5:47. Then, after lounging in the pool for awhile, i took a long, warm, steamy shower, and then got on the computer to finish up the night.

Well this is my 100th post. It seems like my first post was a lifetime ago. Im a very different person since i started posting, and my life it seems has taken a drastic change of direction. The way i look at life nowadays is completely different from how i used to. Ive discovered so many different things about my self that i didn't even know, and i found new truths and meaning in the life i live everyday. When i first started my blog, it was only because I was sorta dragged into it by a good friend. At first i was very narrow minded on the whole issue, and didn't really put to much thought into how this might affect me. Then, as i started to get caught up in excitement of it all, i realized i was becoming a completely different person because of it.

I am sorry to say that I've decided that this will be my final post for this blog. It is kinda've poetic in a way, ending with the perfect number. This blog is one of the main reasons i was able to get through this last bit of the school year, and i see no fitter ending than to finish this blog with the close of the school year. When I started this blog, i had the spark of ingenuity, the want of something exciting and new. Now, with the finality of this post, i feel that that spark of possibility has become an actuality.

A Posse Ad Esse my friends. A good night to all, and to all a good bye.

p.s.--when i finally start a new blog, i will be sure to put the link here.
p.p.s.--its 11:11, make a wish!

the link for my new blog is http://www.livestorun.blogspot.com
Check it out! The first post with be Wednesday June 18th!

No Way Back From Here

Ahh, what a weekend. It all started with an early morning, and an exciting basketball game, which ended in a tie. Then, after watching my brothers baseball team make mistake after mistake, i left with my mom to go to the beach. We picked up V on the way, and off we were. When we finally got there, the first thing we did was attempt to teach V how to boogie board. It sortave a hit or miss with boogie boarding. You either get it right away, or it takes an extremely long time to learn how to do it correctly. Fortunately, V fell into the first category, and soon we had him riding some nice waves. Even though the waves weren't to good for surfing, i did catch a nice wave on the boogie board that took me all the way into shore.

Then, after some attempted skim boarding (which involved V falling on his butt very dramatically and hilariously), we played frisbee in the water. Then, a pleasant walk down the shoreline, and some good pics out by the rocks, a cool shuttle launch in the distance, and we were on our way back home. V fell asleep in our car on the way home, and i must say he is a funny sleeper.

Then, if that was enough fun for one day, my family and I also went to a movie afterwards. We saw Iron Man, and it was really good, much better than Indiana Jones i think. Then, i went to sleep almost immediatly when i arrived home.

Song today is No Way Back by Foo Fighters.

Good Night everyone.

And I Ran, I Ran So Far Away

So....FINALS ARE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!. Finally, everything is done with. And...i think that i will manage a 4.0 for the final semester. Ahh, life is good right now. Nothing much more to report on the school front, but tonight, after messing with ubuntu with some help from V, i went on a nine miler. I felt so good, and i ran my six mile pr while running the nine miles. When it was all said and done, i had ran it in 59:53 minutes, which is amazazing.

Then, afterwards, i got back on linux and V and i worked on getting me the latest flash plugin, and then tried futilely to play a game of chess. Oh well. Oh, maybe the best part of linux is that now i have my sound back. Yes, it has been almost a year now since my computer stopped playing sound, and i am glad that it is finally back. Thank you V soo much.

Well, tomorrow should be fun because the Cinco De Amigos are all going to the beach, hopefully. It will be my first trip to the beach since spring break, and man has it been too long. I cant wait for tomorrow.

Well, i think that im going to bring this post to a close. Song today is I Ran by Flock Of Seagulls, although for some reason, i seemed to have Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cindi Lauper stuck in my head all day. It was super annoying. But i digress.

Gooood night.

Dearly Beloved, We Are Gathered Here Today To Get Through This Thing Called Life

Man, i missed a post. That makes me mad. It has been a while since I've missed a post, and last night, i just totally forgot. Not only that, but i forgot to do everything last night, including my homework. But anyways, yesterday was pretty normal. Eat, school, run, eat, bed. Basically normal enough for me. Today, however, was slightly better than yesterday. In school, not only did i ace all of my exams (including finishing the engineering exam in two minutes), but i was able to do Mrs. Spooner's political cartoon in fifteen minutes, still producing something miraculous.

Aside from that, a usual day. Got home, read for a bit, and then did some mile repeats (6:04, 5:54, and 5:38 with two minutes rest if anyones interested), and then just lounged by the pool for an hour. After a great dinner (pork loin and rice), i tried to do brazee's essay that he assigned because i forgot my book, but i just decided to say screw it. Then i took an hour long shower, very refreshing by the way, and, after chatting with josh for awhile, i decided i wanted to post early to try and maybe get to bed early. Lets see how that goes.

Well, song today is Lets Go Crazy by Prince, which how im feeling right now. Lets all just go crazy and see what happens. Ahh, if only if only.

Good night.

Don't You Forget About Me

Well, a very.....exhausting day to say the least. I arose from my slumber at around 5:30 in order to get ready to go to the Run for the Pineapple 5k. I guess all my training's been paying off, cause i ran a pr of 18:02. Actually, everyone on the team did well, and i am very optimistic for this XC season. After that, the day went kinda've like a blur. The race took a lot more out of me than i thought would. I did go to see Indiana Jones today, and it was pretty good, but besides that ive been sorta sitting on the couch watching movies, with no energy to do anything else. The movies included: The Matrix Revolutions, In the Land of Women, and When Harry Met Sally, along with some That 70's Show.

Now i chatting with timmy on facebook, and i feel like im gonna be going to bed pretty soon. Song today is Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds, made famous by the classic movie, The Breakfast Club, which if you haven't seen it V, its going on the list.

And now for sweet sleep.

I Wanna Rock And Roll All Night, And Party Every Day

Man, what an action packed day. Lets begin at well, the beginning. I woke up around 9 and then ate some waffles, so already a good start. Then, after chatting with V for awhile, i played some video games with my sister. The at 1 V showed up. This was the scene exactly--my brother and i were slouched on the couch playing Crash Tag Team Racing, and V walked in through the door, looked at us, said hi, and then immediately to the computer to start fiddling. Soon after Kim arrived, followed quickly by Tyler.

After about 45 minutes of trying to fix my computer, V finally gave up and we started to study. After going over Brazee's review and talking about the literary terms for spooner, we decided we needed a break and we all went in the pool. We played volleyball (me, my sister and my brother versus them three, and of course we won), and then we played jailbreak for awhile, and eventually it all dissolved to chicken fight.

When we finally got out because the weather didn't bode too well (it started to rain like 10 minutes after we got out), we started to study for Spanish. V pulled up these cool little quizzes on the net that tested you in all the different conjugations for different tenses. I did the best, while V, kim and Tyler struggled. Then we got bored and played a round of Texas Hold-em poker, which my brother regrettably won.

V left pretty much right at the end of the card game, and soon after Tyler had to leave as well. It was really funny because he had to leave right as it started to pour cats and dogs. Seriously, the rain was so thick that you could barely see my driveway, and the only way we knew his parents were out there was because their lights were on. After he left we all (my family and kim) played a round of Oh Hell, which is a game kinda like spades, but much more fun. She left right at the end of game. I just got done playing some guitar hero with my brother and sister, and i think i will go to bed in a little bit.

Song today is Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss.

Bye byes y'all.

When We Walk Through The Doors So Accusing Their Eyes Like They Have Any Right At All To Criticize; Hypocrites Your All Here For The Very Same Reason

Today was a half day at school, which was nice. In spooner i totally aced the separate (darn it! i spelled it wrong again) peace quiz because she let us use our books for showing up on a half day. Then in Hueter i aced his quiz, and now officially i have nothing left to do in his class the rest of the year besides take his exam. So nice. Then in Harriman i proved once again that i am much better than kim at playing a differences game, completing 6 differences (the sequel to 5 differences) way ahead of her. Then, after a sleepy bus ride home, i arrived and almost immediately started cleaning. Now, usually i am a very tidy person because i get this tick thing if stuff is out of whack, but since i share a room with my brother, who is the complete and total opposite of me, its always dirty. It took me nearly an hour to make it nice and neat the way i like it. Then, after finishing off the rest of the house, i sat back and relaxed for a few hours.

At around six i went for my first overdistance day of the year. 9 miles. I went into it pretty confident, and finished it in 1:02:44, which is just under 7 minute pace. I remember when i could barely do six miles at 7 minute pace. Now im doing nine of them. Im getting in such good shape now, i cant wait for the Run for the Pineapple monday to see how all this training is paying off. After a very refreshing glass of ice cold apple juice, i sat down and watched VH1's top 100 songs of the 90's. Some notables were Radiohead, R.H.C.P, Beck, Nirvana, and R.E.M. Now, almost consumed with exhaustion, i am typing out my post for the day so i can hopefully go to sleep soon.

Song for the day is Breathe by Anna Nalick. I don't know why, but i love that name.

Buena noche!

There Was A Man Back In '95 Who Ran Out Of Summers

Thursdaaaayyyy! That means only one more excruciating day left in the school week. Tomorrow should go by quickly though, as it is a half-day, thank god. Mrs. Lugo was being especially stupid today. First, she told us that a millennium equaled 100 years. When we told her that 100 years was a century, she didn't believe us. Crazy i tell you. In spooney we started to watch A Separate (i always misspell that word) Peace. Its alright so far, but like most movies made after a book, it wasn't near as good, and was almost nothing like it.

Then in hueter i found that i have an A in his class no matter what now, even if i don't finish our final project. That makes it four classes with an assured A-Spooner, Algebra,Engineering, and Web masters. And, the only class i absolutely have to get an A on the exam is Spanish. Every other class (barring that i finish with an A in them this nine weeks) i only have to get a C on the exam to get an A in the class. Woo hoo!

Thats about it. Cant wait for Saturday and some hard core studying with the Cinco De Amigos (and possibly more)! Song today is The Riddle by Five For Fighting.

G'night.

Close Your Eyes Girl, Look Inside Girl, Let The Sound Take Away

Ahh, Wednesday. This week has been movin by at the pace of a snail and today was no different. Today isn't really described by what happened, but rather by what didn't happen. Nothing really to note, other than i did my first workout of the year today. Mile repeats with a 2 minute rest in between. My splits were 6:14, 5:56, and 5:45, which is pretty good for the first of the year. After that i did my chemistry hw and then went bumper sticker surfin, and now i am hopefully going to be going to bed.

Song today is Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. Good night guys (and girls).

Cause' Its A Bittersweet Symphony This Life

For some reason i have had that song stuck in my head the last few days (bittersweet symphony), but not one of the usual stuck in your head kinda things. Its like its been on repeat, just playing over and over and over again. Well, today was pretty normal, except for fourth period. It got kinda've confusing and strange, but i guess everything has a meaning, and i can only wonder what this will be.

Well, not much else to talk about, at least i feel that way.

Good night.

He Is Everything Inside Of You That You Wish You Could Be

Hmph. Another monday. But, maybe the last of the remaining few monday that i will have to go to school. Only eleven days left of school, and man am i counting down the days. But to what? As of right now, most of my days will be spent at home, on the couch, as unproductive as can be. But i want to change that, i want to get up and do something besides be a impassive passerby, staring in at the good life i may be doomed never to find. Oh, to use the words of another to explain ones thoughts, i must admit i do this too much, mostly because i dont have too many words of my own to use, so i use the words immortalized by those who spoke them. I have already done it in this post, although i know that the few that read my blog probably won't be able to pick up on it, mostly because they have probably not heard of it.

Well, with all that said and done, i would like to mention that fact that as i was on my run today i spyed a...i don't know...grouping?..of baby alligators. It was pretty cool, although where there is babies, there is a mama around to protect them and possibly bite your head off if you get too close. And i totally destroyed V, Kim and Tyler today in the debate. Not going to go into detail on that, you would've had to have been there to watch.

And, now i think im finally ready to bring this post to a close. Song today is Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon.

Good niite.

I Am Hannah's Regrets

Well, an extremely unproductive Sunday, for the most part. I awoke around ten, and then just sat around all day did absolutely nothing. Sounds nice, right? Try again. No, i've just felt that i have too many of these days in which i sit around and be lazy. I wanna put a stop to this, but i still don't know the remedy for the predicament in which i find myself. Pensive sigh.

But then around 8 i decided to do something, and did math, Spanish and History hw. The only hw i failed to do was chem, but oh well. I just finished up the dishes, and am now hopefully going to go to bed, but unfortunately i feel wide awake. Feels like i mite have a few more hours still. Oh well, at least i'll have sam to talk to.

Oh, i forgot to mention in Friday's post that V and Kim have come up with a new nickname for me. I have been dubbed the Village idiot. I run around and make them laugh with my foolish antics, never really understanding fully whats going on. I think it kinda fits.

Song today is Monster by Meg and Dia (thanx Sam for turning me onto them).

Sleeeeep.

See The Stone Set In Your Eyes

Well, today was fun, but early, that is, early in the morning. I got up at eight (grooaaannnn) to go to my sisters basketball game at Minsky. They won, easily, and Maddy got eight points. Then i came home and sorta sat around all day and played games with my brother and sister, you know, filling the gaps in boredom. Then, after going to Wal-mart for the weeks staple necessities with my dad, i headed out on a run, and was happily surprised to come home to a really good smoothie my dad had made. He used strawberries, blueberries, and heavy whipped cream, among other things. It was really good. Then we all sat down and played a round of cards for fun. My brother ended up winning, as he always seems to.

Then we watched The Core on fx. It was pretty good. Totally unrealistic and against practically every logical law of nature, but good action and story. Now, as the stroke of midnight approaches, i am posting and getting ready to go to bed, so i hopefully won't be as tired tomorrow as i was today. Song today is With Or Without You by U2.

Goooood night.

For Once In My Life Im Scared To Death

Hya everyone, just another Friday in the midst of life. Today went really fast, like i blink and whooosh, its over. Thats how my life has been going nowadays, just too fast for comfort. Don't get me wrong, im glad that school is almost over and its coming really fast, but i mean, i would like everything to just slow down for a few minutes so i can stop and smell the roses. I feel like this year might actually be over too fast, if that sounds crazy enough. Theres more i want to do with this year, and although i might have brought it on myself, i wish i just had more time. Ah the eternal need. More time.

Its funny that Mrs. Reynen is just as bored as we are. Shes counting down the days, ready to retire. The last few days in class she has been jumping at the first chance to go completely off topic for 15 minutes, like today when it came up that Mrs. Rodic makes some extremely perfect circles, and suddenly we were showing Reynen how to do it. Then tonite i went to my brothers basketball game (they lost big time) and then we went to Big Apple for din-din. I am sitting here now listening to V trying to convince to get linux.

Soooo...i really have nothing more to type about. Lets see-ranted, recapped (sortave), and gave a clarifying statement about what im currently doing. Yep, i think i just about covered it. Song today is First Time by Lifehouse.

Byeeeeee.

But Its Just The Price I Pay, Destiny Is Calling Me; Open Up My Eager Eyes, Cause Im Mr. Brightside

So, its Thursday. Finally, only one more day till the weeks over. This morning as i was reading tylers blog, i found that the FCAT writes plus scores were now available to the general public, namely me. I got a 5.5 on the writing. Again. Ever since the 4th grade ive gotten a 5.5, but never a 6. I got a 5 overall on the FCAT writes plus thingy, so i passed with flying colors.

The day would prove to be full of many more little surprises. When i got to school, i found that Mr. Brazee's test review had gotten onto myspace. So he threw a little temper tantrum over, threw all our tests out, and made us do a political cartoon as a substitute grade. It blew.

After that, the day went all too smoothly. I got home, ran, and did some hw. I am about to go watch the office. Special hour long show tonight. Seeya.

Ohh, right, the song today is Mr. Brightside by The killers.

They Taped Over Your Mouth, Scribbled Out The Truth With Their Lies

Ahh, halfway through the torture, and one of last time ill be saying that for awhile. See, school ends unofficially May 30th, when our exams are over. It ends officially on June 4th for those who are dragged to school by their parents, who are now mortified that thier children will be spending a lot more time with them over the next few months. Unfortunately im one of those precious few.

Today was alright, and i found i had a good grade in Spooner even though i didn't do well on her test. Thank the benchmark gods in all their glory. After that, everything was sortave a blur. I haven't really done anything since i got home besides run, do spanish hw, and do some riddling with V.

Today was without, and the post today reflects it. Seeya everyone.

This Aint No Never-Never Land

Sorry everyone, but i have missed some posts. In all the craziness Sunday with Mother's day, i forgot, and last night, i just couldn't get on. Not so convenient sometimes when you have to share the computer with the rest of the fam. Mothers day was awesome. I slept till 10 again, which i should start to watch out for. I was reading V's post from the other day when he talks about getting into better habits for summer, and i fully agree with him. Summer usually consists of up till midnight, awake at around eleven, and i wanna change that.

Then i went to my sisters championship basketball game at John Carroll. They were unable to beat the other team, and finished runner up. If they would've won, they would been state qualifiers. Then we came back to the house, and my dad cooked some steak and lobster tails, probably the best meal on earth (then again i think this of most food my dad cooks). Then we played some Oh Hell, which a card game kinda like hearts, but much more fun.

Then yesterday was sorta blah, cause i got no sleep watching survivor till like eleven, then the insomnia struck again. All in all, i figure i got around 3 hours of sleep. Then the day went by like a blur, and all i can remember is that it was reeeaaaalllly hot. All day. It sucked.

Today was beautiful. It was around 60 this morning with just a hint of wind in the air. Perfect. It stayed nice all day. I came home, watched Evan Almighty, and then did math. Zomg, number 29 was a monster all on its own. Still now, almost a few hours later, i still am unable to find solution to this problem. Troubled mind sigh.

Song today is Centerfold by the J. Giels Band. Listen to the lyrics, they're pretty interesting.

Desire Is The Hunger Is The Fire I Breathe

Man, what a lazy, do-nothing saturday. Its wierd, but since i didn't go to school yesterday, i felt like today was sunday, but fortunately, I still have another day of relaxation. I seriously didn't do anything today besides just sit around, watch tv, play video games, and listen to music. Oh, i also did some hardcore bumper sticker surfing when i got really bored.

So, really nothing to say about today, so im going to bring this to a head. Song today is Because The Night by 10,000 Maniacs (cause seriously, that version is way better than the original).

The Walls Start Breathing, My Minds Unweaving

AAAAAaaaaaaah! Before i go into todays post, i must tell you that im partaking in V's challenge to start every sentence with a different letter of the alphabet, in order, so bare with me.

Crazily enough, my parents let me stay home from school today, which usually never happens. Didn't see it coming, just out of the blue last night my dad says, hey wanna skip school tomorrow, so naturally i said yes. Early this morning, i awoke with my mom waking my brother up for school at 5, and it was really nice knowing that i didn't have to get up and go to school, and i promptly fell asleep until around 8 when my dad got home from work with dunkin donuts. First, i ate my breakfast, then got ready, and by eleven we were on our way. Going to the DMV was our first stop because i had to replace my permit (i lost my wallet a few weeks ago). Hardly anyone was there, and we got to walk right in and get it replaced (although the lady behind the counter gave us attitude for not making an appointment). I then went with my dad to the new longhorn steakhouse thats opening in traditions, and i tried to apply for a job, but he said that even as a busboy you had to be over 18, so we were shot down practically right away.

Jumping ahead, my dad and i then proceeded to go to wal-mart, where we brought some Mothers day stuff, which included a new phone for my mom. Keeling over from hunger, we both decided to go to Thirsty Turtles to get some of those great wings. Lounging around the bar, we started talking with the manager, who knows my dad. Making some small talk, we eventually find out that he used to work as the training manager for the Olive Garden down in Jupiter. Now we see an our opportunity, and ask him about how we could get a job at the olive garden opening in tradition, and he says that if i give him my name and number he'll see what he can do. Oh yeah, and he mentioned that i can also probably get some hours working this summer at the Thirsty Turtle. Probably the highlight of my week was today, but anyways. Quixotically, i left the house today thinking i would be trying for a job at Longhorn, but i came home afterwards realizing that i know was going to go in a completely different direction.

Right now im really glad with how the day turned out in that aspect, because its actually a lot better this way. So now i can't wait for the summer. Thats when, hopefully, many new and exciting things happen in my life. Usually, my summers are spent at the beach or at home, and with family sometimes. Virtually every day would be spent with nothing really accomplished, but now theres some hope that i can do something with this summer. With my new (hopefully) job and the Cinco de amigos, i might make it through the next few months without going insane. Xenomanically, i will strike out into the day. Yahoo, i made it through the whole post starting every sentence with a different letter of the alphabet, and song today is It Ends Tonight by All-American Rejects.

Zomg good night!

Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye

So today was pretty uninteresting. Just to be argumentative, doesn't that make it interesting, at least interestingly uninteresting? Well, as far as interesting goes, today was anything but. Once again, the morning fog was the highlight of my day. This time it wasn't a heavy, rolling fog like yesterday, but more a misty carpet rolled along the ground. If you don't live in St. Lucie County, you probably won't know what im talking about, but bare with me. As you go over the small bridge right before the Midway exit on 95, you can see that long expanse of land that fades away into the sunrise every morning. Well, it just so happens that this morning the fog clung to the tops of the grove trees, and that coupled with the beautiful sunrise in the background was some sight.

After that, the day slowly got worse. There is nothing really to report on from school today, and i didn't really do anything exciting tonight either. I am glad to say that i am going to be playin' hookey tomorrow with my dad. We are going to go get my permit (i lost it when i lost my wallet), and then we are going to go to the Longhorn Steakhouse and the Olive garden opening up in Traditions near my house to see if i might be able to get a job there this summer. Fingers crossed! Cause my dad informed me two days ago that when i get my license, i will also have to start paying insurance as well, and my insurance is going to 130 dollars a month. So i need to find a source of income, and fast.

Anyways, I'm gonna bring this post to a close. Song today is Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners.

This Song Has No Title

Sooooooo, what a Wednesday. Not really, i just like the way the alliteration of that sentence sounded in my head. It was a same old same old day, with your usual boring routine. But alas! A shining beacon of hope in the distance shining through the fog and rain impeding our fun. Today was really foggy, which was awesome. For some reason, i seem drawn to the dreary somber tones of rainy days and foggy mornings. Also, for some reason 95 was closed today, so Mrs. Lugo didn't get into class until there was 15 minutes left. Hallelujah and praise the lord.

After that, the day went pretty much like normal, which was expected. Today at around 6:30 i went for that beautiful twilight run, and it was amazing. I have found that i am actually in a lot better shape than i thought i was. I ran my 3 mile, 4 mile, and 5 mile course records, all on the way to my fastest six mile ever, 39 minutes and 42 seconds. It felt great. I maintain that you can't judge how a run will go until two miles in. Today i felt horrible and tired, and the first two miles felt pretty challenging, but at around the halfway mark, the light opened up to the heavens, and suddenly, no matter how much i pushed myself, i couldn't make myself tired. I figured, this doesn't happen too often, so i might as well have fun with it.

I just finished my chemistry graph. I think i lisdexic (get it?) or something cause i seriously had to do the graph over like 20 times cause i kept messing up. I started working on it at 8:45, and didn't finish until 10 minutes ago. Wtf?

Okay, ima wrap this post up. Song today is, well, check out the title of the post. If you don't know, its a Buffet song. Thanks to my dad, i know just about every Jimmy buffet song by heart (130 of his songs make up my itunes library), so yeah.

g'night.

Now And Again We Try; To Just Stay Alive

Well, what a tuesday. Whats so special about this tuesday you ask? Nothing. Nothing in the slightest. I swear my life is getting more and more boring, slipping from the exciting drama show on tv to the proverbial daytime soap. It really stinks. I mean, i get up, go to school, have some fun with friends, come home, and do nothing. My life is falling into an everlasting cycle of nothingness. Im sinking slowly, with nothing to hold me up.

Well, before i make this post totally depressing (too late), lets talk about today. I am glad to announce that Mrs. Lugo is officially the worst teacher ever (as if there was any debate), and im not even going to go into why. Also, i learned how a simple series circuit works today in Engineering. Besides that, my day was preeeety boring. Got home and watched House, and then just sorta mozed around for awhile, until finally gettin on the computer to post.

I noticed that i seem to start all of my paragraphs with Well,, so im not going to do it anymore. Okay then, ima wrap this up. The phones ringin and i better go get it!

Bye.

I Do Not Understand What It Is I Did Wrong

Well, just another Monday lost in the sands of time. This monday, however, is somewhat special in ways that are not even really that apparent. First of all, Mrs. Spooner taught us Functions today instead of Mrs. Reynen (spooner=english; she doesn't have and 1st, 2nd, or seventh periods cause her seniors left, so she subbed for Mrs. Reynen), which was a nice surprise. Also, tonight is special in another way that is completely unrelated to me at all, but i will at least acknowledge its unusuality (thats definitely not a word, but who cares).

Also, we learned for about the trillionth time this year about the periodic table and stoichiometry and dimensional analysis. My gosh, i mean its getting really old. But aside from that, the day was pretty nice, as mentioned above. Also, according to Mrs. Lugo, theres no way to say "back to the future" in spanish. Thanx Robby for the interesting story today.

Well, ima wrap this doggey up and head off to bed. Song today is Bodysnatchers by Radiohead.

See ya.

But How Can Take Somebody Before They Can Be Someone

Today was really slow. Woke up around 10 o clock and relaxed and played video games with my brother for a few hours, and then at around 1:30 we left to go to my Noo Noo's birthday party. It was pretty fun. We played some baggo, swam in the pool for a few hours, and ended up playing some wiffle ball baseball on one of the tennis courts. I won the game for us with a 2 run walk-off homerun.

Then we came home and i finished my brazee essay while watching License to Wed with my dad. It was pretty good, but i thought they coulda made it better, so it was kinda a letdown. Oh well. Im just about to get ready for bed, cause i figured tonight at least i should get to bed at a decent hour (i've went to bed after 11 for the past 4 nights). Song today is Typical by Mute Math.

Take On Me, Take Me On; I'll Be Gone In A Day Or Two

So, its been a few since ive posted. Well, thursday was kinda hectic, what with the relay for life meeting after school, then over to the awards ceremony, then to burger king, and then home at around 11 o' clock. So then it was soo late that i didn't want to post, i just fell asleep right away.

Then friday was kinda fun become we had the Academic Awards Ceremony, where i received the Engineering Student of the year award, which was a nice surprise. Plus i got to sit with Kim and V the whole time, which is always fun. Then afterwards the rest of the day was kinda lax, and in Mrs. Reynen's class we had a party with brownies and soda and such. Me, kim, tyler, v, and tim all played fast scrabble. We even got Mrs. Reynen to join in a few games. Then later that afternoon, after pickin up V and Eilene, we all went to the relay for life at Dan Mcarty Middle school (happy kim?).

It was really fun, cause there was a lot people there from school that i had no idea were coming. I ended up getting a few hours of sleep after around midnight, and when i woke up around five, and it was pouring. It ended up raining on and off for the next two hours while the sun came up , and when it finally peeked out over the horizon at us, it magically made all the rain go away. Today was a do-nothing saturday, cause i was so exhausted i just sat around a relaxed all day(minus my 4 mile run around six o clock).

I also watched Saved with mandy moore (and that other girl you always see in the movies but never know her name), and i had forgotten how good that movie was. I mean seriously, its amazing. I am currently working on my essay for brazee, and i thought i needed a break so i decided it was a pretty good time to blog. Song for today is Take On Me by A-ha.

Mother mother ocean; I have heard your call

Man, today was the highpoint of my week so far. I am finally clear of the storm that was my yearly cold. There is still some minor tugs on my being, but for the most part, the cold has been eradicated.

So today was actually not that exciting besides that, although i got a 1500 plus on the sri, like i knew i would (ive gotten that for practically every one since the 6th grade), and i am glad that now i never have to take another one of those things again.

Tomorrow should be some fun, cause im going to a relay for life meeting after school, then over to Tia's house, and then to the athletic banquet for the close of the night. Although i sorta rushed through that, its bound to be better than the week has been so far. Then Friday after the academic awards ceremony (which ive already gotten three letters for; i mean really, don't you think thats a little overboard?), i will be going to the relay for life at Dan McCarty high school, and hopefully V will be there too.

Well, thats it for me today, cause im going to get back to watching 100 greatest one hit wonders on Vh1.

Angels Fall Without You There

AAAAHhhhhhhhh! This week has been soooooo stupid so far. I have had a really annoying cold for the past three days, and it reached it climax today. My cold in full swing, i was continuously under the onslaught of a horrible cough, a painful sneeze, and an on and off mind splitting headache. Today was a blur of emotions. Somehow, i was still able to somewhat function, although i practically slept through Spooner and Gieger.

I hope i get better by the end of the week, though, because thursday is the athletic awards banquet and friday is the Relay for Life thing that im doing. My mom says if im still sick then i cant go and that would be really stupid. But enough of that stuff, lets get on with the good parts of the day. Today i aced a quiz in Hueter, and my group in Mrs. Spooner's class managed to have the best translation of Shakespearre into modern text. Seeing as those are the high points of my day should tell you a little something about how my day went.

Well, with not much else to report on, i think im going to wrap this post up. Song today is Black Balloon by Goo Goo Dolls.

We'll Scream At The Top Of Our Lungs, They'll Think It's Just Cause We're Young And We'll Feel So Alive

Well, today was weird. First of all, i only got like three hours of sleep last night thanx to my killer headache induced by my yearly cold. See, i only get sick once a year, and these past few days seem to be it. But what was strange was that i felt totally awake and responsive all morning. Weird, huh? Well, aside from that the whole went pretty smoothly, although it was pretty strange going home on the bus instead of going to practice. Oh well, only 26 days left of school.

All that aside, im going to bring this post to an ubrupt close because i have some chores i need to finish up.

Now I'm Rolling With My Windows Down, I Love The Wind But I Hate The Sound

Today was just another boring sunday was yet another in a long list of the boring sundays in my life. I sorta did nothing all day except mow the lawn. It felt good, realizing that now i had nothing to do today, nothing to worry about. Hopefully ill have these feelings for the next few weeks as well, especially going into the end of this school year. On that note, I can't believe that its already May. I mean my gosh, where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday i was making my New Years Resolution, one that ive already failed to live up to.

I think im going to end my post on that note, especially since i was just struck with killer headache. Song today is like whoa by Alli and Aj.

Peace.

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than What I've Been Trying To Be Lately

Well, it has been quite the interesting couple of days as of late. Friday was a letdown, mostly because of the days somewhat boring activities, and partly due to my own...tribulations. I did end up being put in the trivia by Melissa last minute, and i actually answered 4 questions correctly, and would've gotten two more if i had been faster on the trigger. The rest of the schoolday went by uneventfully, and i went over to Lucas' house. We watched a few South Parks, had some smoothies, and then made our way to the Civic Center to go to Winter Park for the State Meet. It was a long ride because the other coach messed up the directions and we ended up driving around in circles in Orlando for an hour, but that's neither here nor there (i love that phrase but im not quite sure its applicable here, oh well). Our apartment was amazazing. It had a full walk in kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, oven, toaster, and microwave; plus it had pots, pans and silver ware. They also put the breakers for the room right there in the living room so we were messing with them for awhile, and turned off the hot water while Lucas was taking a shower.

This morning went by like your dreams blur after you wash the finer details away with the wonderful morning shower. We ran at 1:45. I was sooo nervous, especially when Lucas ran a 2:02 and still handed me the baton in last place. I had so much pent up anxiety that i went crazy the first lap and ran a 57. It went pretty bad after that. I ended up running a 2:05, which isnt horrible but it isn't what i should've run. We ended up getting sixth in our heat, and eighth overall. We also ran a team best by 7 seconds. After we went home, and i took somewhat of a nap, and then at around 6 i went with my mom to borders to get the final book in the trilogy ive been reading, The Midnighters.

I had black bean chicken tonight, which is the first time in what feels like ages. Im kinda glad track is over. Everything was becoming so hectic and weird, and now i can just relax the rest of the year. Song today is I Dont Wanna Be by Gavin Degraw.

Good Night everyone (or more like, good night Kim, Alex, V, Tyler, and Billy).

Follow The Lines And Wonder Why Theres No Connection

Well, its just another Thursday in my life. Wake up, shave, shower, eat my eggos. School all day, sucking the energy out of me. Practice, where i practice the long felt tradition of making yourself hurt for a few miles at a time. Home, to my humble aboad in which i sit and try to pass the time till the new day comes. The Office will be on tonight, which i will almost definitely watch, and i must also pack for the trip ahead of me, one which will hopefully lead to the victory lane in my struggles.

This week in our school has been spirit week. And yet i feel not spirited or cheerful in these last few days but i am only left with sense of exhaustion and the somber feeling of detachedness. I feel as now the year is coming to its rapid end, and i have nothing to show for it. Sure, ive made a few friends, and ive had some great memories, but in the end i look at this year and i feel as though it could've been so much better. Pensive sigh.

Well, im going to stop being a total downer now, and finish up this post.

Au revoir

Im Torn Between This Life I Lead And Where I Stand

Well, i wanna type a little tonight, basically because tonight has been very uneventful, just me sitting at home with noone else here but me and my lonesome. Not that im complaining, i do enjoy some nice alone with my often annoying siblings out of the house. I spent a lot of time just watching tv (and failing to find something good to watch), and on the computer too.

Today was pretty slow. In first period however, Mrs. Lugo proved just how crazy she was. On the slip of paper she handed out that described our projects, she said she wanted either a 2D or a 3D representation of our topic. So when Kiki comes to the front and starts presenting on her project which she drew a picture for, Mrs. Lugo tells her that she didn't want a picture. But then kiki said that the sheet asked for a 2D or 3D representation, and kiki gave a 2D representation. But Mrs. Lugo, making no sense like usual said a picture isnt 2 dimensional, it has to be raised up a little bit. I used to find it funny, but its been almost 30 weeks of this nonsense and im just about done with it, although it was hilarious to watch.

Besides that nothing much happened, although i realized with Mrs. Reynen its hit or miss. She either finds something that you say funny or she doesnt, and you can never really tell which its going to be. She told off Kevin Yepes today for that very reason. Not that this isn't really funny, its just very interesting to note.

Well, ima wrap this one up. Song today is Let Me Go by Three Doors Down.

Pink Champagne On Ice, And She Said, We Are All Just Prisoners Here, Of Our Own Device

Ahhhh! Monday! Good thing there isn't that many of them left. Whew, i cant wait untill summer, although today completely felt like summer. 93 degrees with a heat index that got close to the triple digits. Thats the Florida we know coming back to us. The glaring sun beating down on you, with the wind slowly blowing hot musty air across your face, while you sweat profusely in places you didn't even think you could. Thats Florida all right.

Anyways, today was a day of much catching up. Gladly enough, with some great damage control, i only had to do an hour and a half of homework tonight. Wierd, i just used 'an hour and a half of homework' and 'only' in the same sentence. I better watch that.

Well, ima wrap things up today. Talk to ya tomorrow y'all. Song today is Hotel California, a song which to this very day creeps me out and fascinates me at the same time.

He Was A Boy, She Was A Girl, Can I Make It Any More Obvious?

Well, just a really boring, lazy sunday for me today. Woke up at around 9, and sortave did nothing until 2 o clock when i made myself do my spanish powerpoint. I spent an hour and a half, i think its pretty good.

Then i did my Brazee essay, and then out the door for a nice 4 miler to clear my head. Up untill right now ive been doing a mixture of playing video games and watching tv. Ill probably go to bed soon, although i doubt ill be actually be sleeping till much later.

Good bye for now. Try and figure out the song yourself.

You Held Your Breathe, And The Door For Me

Well, im sorry i didnt post last night. It was actually today when i got home (around 1:00 in the morning), and i was really tired and wanted sleep, so sleep i got.

Yesterday was a really lazy just sortave sit around and do nothing day. Probably should've started the gigantor load of homework i have, but oh well. At 5:00 (after eating a really juicy steak), i went to my sister's basketball tryouts, and from there to her teammate Kailyn's house for dinner and such. We ended up playing pictionary into the wee hours of the night, and eventually morning. I am glad to say that our team won!

Then this morning, after waking up with six hours sleep and a long shower to wash the exhaustion off me, i went to a car wash for Relay for Life. It was fun, and we raised 300 dollars. We wanted to get more, but there were two other car washes down the road, so we didn't get as much as last time. Then we went back to tia's house, where me and another kid, Taylor, jumped in her freezing cold pool on a dare. It mind numbingly cold (which i guess would be actually good?). Then we quickly hopped on down to Jupiter to watch my little sis' basketball tourney. It was really funny, because this little girl walked up to the line, and got ready for her free throws, and she shot the first one and missed. But then, after talking with a teammate, she shot the next shot granny style, and like it was right out of a doug rerun, it went in.

Afterwards we went to Outback for dinner (again, i had a nice tender steak), and we just got home again very late and very tired about thirty minutes ago. But anyways, i will bore you no further, as i will proceed to wrap this up. Song today is Head Over Heels by Alanis Morrisette.

So go.

I Don't Even Know You, You Wont Even Know Im Gone

Well, what a day. It started out pretty bad in, of course spanish class. I swear, that is the only class i dont enjoy being in. Although sometimes algebra gets close, cause mrs. reynen seems to have this big funsucker machine, and she uses it to suck the fun, and the comfortability right out of the room. Anyways, back to today. After that nightmare, i headed over to luc's car, and then we both proceeded to the civic center to wait for the bus.

Fast forward. Play. Now we're at the running of the 4X800 meter relay. Lucas starts off first leg and does an admirable job, and when i got the baton, we were in third place by about two seconds. Then the first lap i didn't make up any ground, and the first turn of the second i still wasn't going anywhere, but finally the kid in second started to come back to me, and then suddenly we were on the final turn and i was in first and pulling away. I ran a pr of 2:03 flat, and we were in first. Then timmy held onto the lead his entire leg, not relinquishing anything, that is, until his legs gave out on him and he fell at the finish line. Our anchor leg had to come back, pick up the baton, and then take off. After it was all said and done, we finished fourth. But we're still going to states!

Fast forward. Play. Now we're watching a movie, Street Kings with keanu reeves, forrest whittaker, hugh laurie, and a whole buncha people that when you see them in a movie, you go "hey", i know that guy (or girl). Then we promptly headed back to the track.

Fast forward. Play. Slow Motion. Okay, so a little recap first. Im running in the open 800 meter (the slower of two heats), and i started out the first lap in no lie last place, cause everyone went out soooo fast. Then i started reeling them in, and now here i am, 50 meters to go, and i have one guy left to pass, and i see hes dying. I put on a little extra burst of speed, lean at the line, and take the race cleanly by almost half a second. I ended up sixth overall.

Stop.

I Can Be So Insincere

Well, just filler basically today. Nothing really of note happened today, although there is the fantastic story of the life and even more theatrical death of a paper airplane, and the fact that one of the Cinco De Amigos may be in dire trouble. Other than that, really nothing happened. I might go into the paper airplane story later, but for now the point is moot. Its late but kinda early, and i think i wanna get a good night's rest. Too bad i was lazy and didn't work on Brazee's essay. Oh well.

I Wont Go Home Without You

Well, just another monday. The only thing thats different about this monday is that its my sixtieth post! Woooh Hooo! Approximately sixty days ago, i started doing a blog, and have done a pretty good job of keeping up with it. This blog has brought many changes in my life, many insights about myself and others that i will always have with me. If it hadnt been for my keeping a blog, i know my life would be very different right now.

All that sappy stuff aside, today was really ordinary. Just skated by without really paying attention to anything. At practice, we did "broken 800's". Thats where you run an 500, then a 300 after a 2 minute break. We had to do them at 60 second 400 pace, but the first 500 was slow (we hit 1:18 instead of 1:15). But the rest of the workout was right on pace, and the second set i did really good, so im really confident going into regionals on thursday. Right now im seeded eighth in the region right now, and i need to finish in the top four to advance to states. Cross your fingers!

Gosh, i hate when teachers assign busy work that takes a long time to accomplish. For instance, We're learning quadratic equations in Algebra, and its really easy. But Mrs. Reynen had to go an assign homework thats not hard, but extremely time-consuming. It took me and hour!

Anyways....i gotta get going now. Song today is Wont Go Home Without You by Maroon 5.

Give Me Something To Believe, Im Living Just To Breathe

Hello everyone, or maybe just the select few who read this blog (not because they've been selected, just because they are the only ones who care to read it). Today looked like it was just going to be another boring, lazy sunday. That is until....i decided i wanted to go do something. I called V up and asked him if he i could come over his house after he was done fund raising for TSA. He said yes, and off i was to the Wal-Mart on US1. I got there and V, Eilene, and Kim were just talking and such, and then V told me he wanted a drink from the vending machine, so i went over to see if i could work some magic....or something. I just started hitting the buttons on all of the machines, and suddenly one popped out a soda! It was amazing and weird at the same time.

Then we went to V's house and we went outside and caught some frogs, and then V suggested we go for a bike ride when i told him i was getting antsy, so we did. Only,..he biked and i walked. It was a pretty good run, including the end in which i tried to beat him home (i lost miserably). Then we tried some handstands, and V gave me a quick tour of how he performed his midnight escapade a few nights ago.

Afterwards, we ate some dinner. I always like eating at V's house, cause his mom always cooks really good food, which i usually never eat at home. Afterwards we went to his room, listened to some music on the Mplayer, watched some videos, and then went outside to admire the b-e-a-utiful day it was. V challenged me to a paper airplane contest, and of course i won with my classic jet plane configuration to his harrier design. Then we got reeeeaally bored and just started rolling a ball back and forth down the hall. But we got an idea, and tied a hoola hoop to a light so it hung just above the ground, and put some empty bottles at the end of the hallway, and we tried to do some bowling. Unfortunately, thats exactly when my mom showed up.

I didnt do any homework this weekend, which will probably come back to bite me in the behind, but oh well. Song today is a new one by The Bravery, "Believe".

I Look At You With Such Disdain

Well, it has been a hectic couple of days, of which i havent been posting. This is due to my laziness, and my exhaustion that past two days. On thursday we had our District meet, and thanks to that i was able to get out of school right after first period. Our 4X800 team won easily, and then i also competed in the open 800 meter. I finished fourth, with a pr of 2:03 and a dramatic fall-over-the-finish-line- finish. My legs just gave out on me at the end of the race and with five feet to go i stumbled and fell on the track. It hurt a little. I scraped my knee, got a nasty rasberry on my thigh, and scrape on my back. Im still a little sore. But it doesnt matter, because i qualified for Regionals for my efforts! Hopefully i can do as well next week.

I was tired all day friday, mostly because we got home late from the meet the night previous, and i got very little sleep. However, now that i come to think of it, that isnt too different from every night. Im quite proud of the fact that was able to study for a quiz in spanish (which i aced), did spooners homework, transferred mr. brazee's political cartoon to a fresh sheet of paper, all in first period! Then the rest of the day went pretty smoothly. Oh, in Algebra we got to eat while we our test. it was awesome, cause i got to enjoy cupcakes and sprite.

Then after school Luc, Tim, Josh, David and Ebanks all came over my house to watch the office and scrubs. We ended up playing basketball out front after.

Then i went to sleep, forgot to post again, and then woke up this morning at eleven, which was kinda nice. At around 3 in the afternoon i went with my family to Palm Bay to visit some family whose in town from Texas. It was pretty fun, and we all ended up watching Bruce Almighty (such a good movie). After like a million pictures and even more good byes, we drove home. Right now i am thoroughly angry at myself. I just wish i could be more decisive about things than over thinking them like i always do. I wish i could just do something for once, with no thought or care, just do it. Oh well, before i start to sound too much like a nike commercial, ima call it a wrap. Song today is It Ends Tonight by All American Rejects.

Thanks For Watching As I Fall

Well, just another tuesday, in a long line of tuesdays that make up my life. This one had very little to report, so i guess i wont write much.

Well, nothing much to say about today. At practice we ran a light 3 miles around the villages, around 21 minutes. Thats really scary to type, just realizing how good of shape im in, its mind boggling. At the beginning of Cross country this year, i could barely even run a 21 minute 3 mile, now im clipping days off like that and not even breaking a sweat. Tomorrow will probably even lighter in preparation for the meet. Maybe some light 200's, get the legs feeling a fast pace, then done till Districts.

Well, tonite i was feeling antsy, so i decided to do a half mile to see what i had in the tank. It was so just on the moment that i got up and decided to walk out the door and as soon as my foot hit asphalt i was off at something like 60 second pace (or 15 miles per hour). I slowed a little bit, went by the quarter at 64, and then tried to pick it up a little. I ended up finishing at 2:09, which made me somewhat happy. Even happier when i realized that didn't even make me tired. I mean, i was breathing hard, and my body was a little shocked at the speed it just ran, but aside from that, all good.

Well, thats it for me for today. Song today is My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne.

I Promise I Might, And I Walk On By; Maybe Next Time, But Not This Time

So it was a do-nothing monday, cause i felt like doing nothing. But unfortunately, i had to go to school. No more waking up at 9:00, cause know i must reenter the stupid tradition of awaking at 5:00 to catch the bus.

Today was pretty slow, and even more boring. Thats okay though, because its over now. I can't wait for our district meet on Thursday! Im running the 4X800 (we're currently ranked fourth in the state for 2A) and the open 800. I know we'll qualify for 4X800 (you have to finish in the top four to qualify for regionals), and im almost definite ill qualify in the open 800. The catch is that even if i qualify, i have to run a fast time or i wont be in the fast heat at regionals, which will pretty much guarantee i wont make it to states. If i get into the fast heat however, i will have a slim chance.

Nothing much happened tonight, and i feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, but is being balanced off by my ambitions and dreams, if that makes sense. Song today I One Thing by Finger Eleven.

Good night and dont let the bed bugs bite :)

But I'm Thinking It Over Anyways

Wellllll, what a couple of days i have had over the past few days. If you read my previous post, you would already know that i've been in Gainesville for the past few days at the Florida Relays.

On Thursday we left on the incredibly boring 4 hour journey to central Florida. We got there around 6 O' clock, and went up to our rooms. Then the girls left for dinner early, and we decided it was time to play a few pranks. See, coach had one of the keys to their room. So we went in, flipped their beds, turned the tv upside down, took all the toilet paper, soap, and shampoo; then we stacked a few cups of water on their bathroom door so when they opened it water fell on them. We did a pretty good job. Next Tim, Lucas and I went over Jeff's house and we all went for a run. It was a scenic trail out in the open land outside of gainesville. It was beautiful. Afterwards we went to dinner at TGI Fridays, and afterwards we went back to the hotel.

On Friday we had to get up early to go to watch Andrew do the Long jump. Afterwards we went over Jeff's house and to kill some time, then at around one we went back to the track to watch Andrew do the 110 hurdles. He finished second out of about 60 kids. After that we all went back to the hotel and played some halo and took a nap. Then we to Olive Garden for dinner, and then back to the hotel again.

On saturday, we again woke up early, checked out, and went to the track to watch Andrew do the triple jump. After that we went to the mall. We hung out, had Subway, and then went to jeffs house to relax until our race. Then a few short hours later it was race time. I ran a pr (personal record) of 2:04 for my leg in the 4X800, and we finished eighth overall out of 63 teams. Then we hunkered down while it poured out and the races were delayed for an hour before they finally cancelled the rest of the meet. Then we ate dinner at Mickey D's, and started home.

After gettin back at around one in the morning, i fell right asleep when i got home, very glad to be home and in my own bed. Then i had to wake up at ten to go to brunch to celebrate my omagh's (i don't know if thats how you spell it) birthday. Shes my grandma on my mom's side, and she turned 70 today. We went to this little German eatery on the intersection of Westmoreland and PSL blvd., where the mickey d's is. I had the best French toast ive had in awhile, and soon we were back home, and i was working on my spanish packet that i refrained from doing all break till last minute. But i finished it really quick, the whole thing in less than an hour. And i didn't find out till later talking with Sam that i only had to do the first half. Oh well.

Well, i haves to go now, so i leave you with a good bye and a good night. Song today is Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik.

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels; The Dizzy Dancin Way You Feel

Well, what a couple of days i have ahead of me. Today I leave for Gainesville for the Florida Relays. Its a really big meet. It draws from schools all over the country. I myself am going to run the 4X800 meter relay. Lets hope I do good.

Yesterday was really just nothing. I did nothing basically but sit on my butt and play video games. At around 2:30 i went to skyline with Lucas and Jamal (other kids on the 4X800, timmy wasn't there), and we did a workout. For those of you that don't know what skyline is, it a long stretch of road with a lot of hills, big hills. First we did a two mile warm-up around and on top of the hills. Then we traveled to a track close by and did 12 "cruise" 200's. Thats where you run an 200 nice and easy, at like 32-34 seconds, and then jog a 200. We did that 12 times. Then we went back to the biggest hill and did 5 "hill"s. Thats where you start at the bottom and run full blast to the top, jog down and do it again, with no rest. It was hard, but it helps your footspeed.

Today i woke up at 9:00 again, and played video games until about thirty minutes ago, when i started packing and getting ready to leave. I probably won't be able to post while im away, so it probably won't be until Sunday when you'll hear from me again.

Also, on a closing note, Sam, you did stump me with you secret message. I was unable to find it. I tried for almost thirty minutes. Oh well. Song today is Both Sides Now by Judy Collins.

Like The Angel You Are The Laugh Creating A Lightness In My Chest

Well, today was a day of much thought and a lot of relaxation. I sortave just sat around all day and did nothing. At around 3:30 my mom and I went to Gamestop and i got Tony Hawks Underground and Enter the Matrix, all for less than ten dollars, it was a pretty good deal. Thats about all i did all day.

Oh, at like 8:00 i went for a run. It was very peaceful, i only encountered one dog, and it was on a chain (hallelujah). A good run always makes me feel so peaceful and calm, its almost...can i say...spiritual? All i know is that i am truly at peace with myself and everything around when im on my runs, and let me tell you, its a good feeling.

I just finished downloading a few songs that i used to have before my computer crashed a few years ago. I had a music library that was very impressive, counting almost 3,000 songs. Then all in one instant they were lost. It happened during the Hurricanes. Darn Francis and Jeanne! Well, since then ive been trying to reclaim all those lost songs that escape my memory at the moment. But ill hear them now and then on the radio, and think "oh yeah i really like this song", and get home and download it right away.

Well, i went into this post telling myself, i just wanna type a few lines and get it over with, but oh well, i guess this turned into a full blown post. I should be in bed right now since i have a hard run tomorrow at skyline in stuart, but i just can't go to sleep. Man i hate that. But you gotta love nights that turn into mornins don't ya? Well, ill sign off for now, even though sleep will probably not claim me for another hour or two. Song today is Like the angel by Rise Against.

C'est La Vi comrades.

See The Man With The Lonely Eyes Take His Hand You'll Be Suprised

So it has been a wierd couple o' days. Lets see if we can try and catch up. Looks like i need to talk about saturday, sunday, and today, so lets get to it.

Saturday was the day of our Treasure Lakes Conference Championships. I got up at around 6:30, showered and dressed, ate some eggos (of course), and headed out for the long hour drive to Sebastian. When we got there we found it was perfect conditions for a good day. Little to no wind, around 75 degrees, perfect. In the 4X800, my first event, i ran a pr of 2:04 for my leg on the relay team. All together our team ran an 8:14, which is now 3rd in class 2A (plus around 10th in the whole state!. Then i rested a bit, and waited for my next event, with some fierce wall ball in between, and then around 3:30 i started the open 800. I ran a 2:09 and came in third with a great kick at the end. All together we finished in second as a team.

Sunday served as an amazingly relaxing day. Just nothing but chilaxing. I love spring break so much. No worries, no responsibilities, you can just float. Although without school its kinda hard to remember what day it is. That was basically it. I also worked around the house a lot. Boring stuff.

Today was fun. I awoke at around 8 and got ready and to go to practice. My fam dropped me off on their way to the beach. It was a hard practice. We ran a 400 at 60 seconds, 30 seconds rest, and then another 400 at 60 seconds, 15 minutes rest and then we do it again. Afterwards, i went over Jake Norris' house with josh. Then he drove me to the beach to meet up with my family. I boogie boarded a little and surfed, but it was really choppy, really hard to get out past the break.

That was about it. Bye. Song today is Give A Little Bit by Goo Goo Dolls. Good Bye.

Late Night, Come Home, Work Sucks, I Know

The last few days have been a blur. When i get all my thoughts together, ill give you a good whole-hearted post recapping the past few days. Song today is All the small things by Blink 182.

Thats all i have to say about that.

If You Body Matches What Your Eye Can Do, You'll Probably Move Right Through Me On My Way To You

Ello everybody, im really sorry i missed last nights post, but when i got home basically just fell right to sleep.

Yesterday went pretty well, and was really laid back untill around 4 O'clock. At that moment, i realized i needed to get ready to go to Tyler's birthday party. I am quite proud to say that i was able to get completely ready to go (which included shaving, showering, and making a card for tyler) in just under 15 minutes. Unfortunately, due to circumstances that were out of my hands (uhum..mom not getting ready on time), we were still late picking sam up from his house. When we finally got to tyler's, we proceeded to play some 4 square on his back porch. But we only had 3 people, so the king was actually a combination of 4th and 1st squares. It was fun, and we did that until Kim and Alex showed up, and then we all went in the pool. It was coooooold. I only went in with much goading and pleading from the others.

After that we had some ice cream cake and tyler opened his presents. Sam got him this cool inflatable disc thing that looked like a pepperoni pizza. We then tried to fill it up, which brought about the age old question, 'How many IB sophomores does it take to blow up a disc-shaped balloon? In the end, we ended up having to use a bike tire. Then we played with it outside for a while. Afterwards we went inside and got Alex a facebook, and then it seemed all to soon sam and i had to go home.

Today was another lazy day until i went over Lucas' house for smoothie day at around 2 o' clock. It was fun, and we played Call of duty 4 the whole time. Then around 5, i went to my g-mas house. Then i had some really gooooooood spaghetti. My noo-noo (thats what we call my g-ma) makes the best spaghetti and meatball you'll ever eat. I have to eat it everytime i come over here.

Then we watched a little disturbia, and now we are about to watch Stargate. Well, i will now bid you adieu my blog readers. Song for today is Paralyzer by Finger Eleven.

G'bye.

You Are The Antidote That Gets Me By

So, its been a pretty little while since ive actually done a meaninful post. But honestly, the reasoning for this is that there hasn't really been that much to talk about. My life has come to halt, or though it seems. But it seems Spring Break has come at the perfect time. Hopefully this will be a good little rejuvinate that will put me back on track.

Today was very fast, and that was very good. After school, i went to track practice. The original plan was for josh to drop me off at my mom's work after practice, but then we decided to go to David's house with timmy and play some halo. And so we did, until 7:00. Then josh took me home. On the way home, i was able to admire the beautiful sunset happening just over the horizon. It was epic. Hopefully it is the sign of good things to come.

Well, my blog readers, it is now time to leave you and tend my nightly activities, so good bye. Song today is So Cold by Crossfade.

I Hear The Secrets That You Keep When You're Talking In Your Sleep

Siiiiiiigh. Life. Get over it. I am. And i have nothing to say why, i just state i am. So there.

School was alright and wasn't, if that makes sense. I really want to do something, something that would be a change for the better and would be awesome, but i still can't bring myself to do it. I don't know why, and i really need to just man up and do it, but still i sit around and do nothing.

Nothing much else to report on, besides the fact that i recently came back in touch with someone i haven't talked to in a while. Arielle Mayper, from my elementary school. I haven't seen her since the sixth grade, and go figure, yesterday she writes me something on my wall. Its kinda cool cause the only other person i still talk to from that long ago is Robby.

Well, its late and i want to get to bed, cause we have a workout tomorrow and i don't wanna be dragging. Today's song is Talking in your sleep by the romantics.

Blah.

All This Is Feels Strange And Untrue

Well, this is my first time missing a post in 43 straight days. I'm really miffed over this. I had a nice little healthy streak going, and then one weekend comes along and knocks it all over. Oh well.

Now, to start the recap. On friday i had the Holy Trinity Elite Invitational in Melbourne, and it started around 3 O' clock. We came in second in the 4X800 (while posting the second fastest time in class 2A), and i also ran the open 800 and placed fourth. After it was done, however, it took really long to calculate the scores, and i ended up staying till 10:30 waiting for them to announce the winners. It turned out that we ended up edging out the other school, 167-163. Then we took a short trip down the road to my aunt and uncles house, where i promptly fell asleep as soon as i hit the couch.

Then on saturday, after awaking from my very uncomfortable slumber, i had to wait until my family got back from my cousin's football game, so i watched signs for the first time in a long while. Man that movie is good. Then they got home, and we finally made the trip back to my house. Then we got home, and no sooner than i had taken a shower and gotten changed than we were leaving to go over the Corrado's (the daughter's on madelin's basketball team). It was a lot of fun, we colored eggs, ate shrimp and lobster scampi, and then went in their pool. We also watched the invisble (which is another great movie by the way), and we ended up getting home at 1 O' clock in the morning. I was too tired to blog, and i went right to bed.

Then today i could only sleep till 9, and woke up and did some web surfin to see what i had missed the last couple of days. I basically slouched the rest of the day, until some of my family came over and had easter dinner and a small egg hunt. I sorta got started on Spooney's Jekyll and Hyde essay, but im gonna have to finish it up tomorrow in harriman, cause i can't think straight right now.

Well, thats it. It doesn't seem like too much now that ive condensed the whole thing into three paragraphs. But it was. Song today is Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol.

Its about time we had a renaissance

So, what a completely dumb thursday. I mean seriously, it seems if this week has been getting worse and worse since its gone on. It started out really bad in 1st period when i got my progress report from mrs. lugo and found i had a c. I've never gotten a c. I like flipped out. I was so mad, i couldn't even pay attention in Brazee, or during that ring presentation thing. Luckily i was able to find the assignment that the crazy lady didn't mark down for me, and i will now have a b. But still, a b, it really sucks.

Then the day didn't get much better, what with another stupid lesson in Chemistry (although im glad i get it), and a grading day in Engineering. Then i did a few pages of content in harriman and just chilaxed the rest of the period.

On a somewhat unrelated note, ive found i must vent a passionate frustration of mine. It really sucks when your talking to someone, and they feeling down or theres a perfect moment to say something meaningful and with value, to make them feel better, or just brighten up thier day. I am definitely one of those people. I can never ever say the right thing at the right time. Its like i just freeze up. And later when i by myself thinking about it, i can think of the perfect thing to say , that wouldve been awesome, but its too late then. I hate that. Siiiiiigh.

Tomorrow's the Holy Trinity meet, which is one of the biggest meets in the state. Im running the 4X800 and the 800 meter run. Im so glad theres no school tomorrow.

I think im gonna wrap this up, cause i want to get some rest for tomorrow's meet. The title of today's post isn't from any song that ive been able to find, but it is in the music to the opening of Miss Guided, this new show on thats pretty good. You should definitely check it out.

Bye bye everyone.

And Sometimes You Close Your Eyes And See The Place Where You Used To Live

May i ask who can finish the line started in the title? Props to anyone who can, cause its not one of there more popular songs (although it was on guitar hero 3). But today was stupid. Loads upon loads of stupidness. It really sucked. It was all in first period, with the crazy old bat they are disguising as a teacher. She is really off the wall stupid. The things she says and does just don't add up, and sometimes you just want to smack her.

But drifting away from that, the rest of the day went pretty smoothly, and i got to finish all my spanish in engineering, and i made this super cool pic in photoshop today. Then i went to the County Championships after school. I ran the mile first, and i did horrible. I went out on pace, but i just couldn't keep it, and ended up running a dismal 5:14. But i kinda redeemed myself in the 800 when i ran a 2:08 and finished fourth. No medals today. Oh well.

Then we went to sonics after wards, and i got the godly Apple juice slush they have there. I mean seriously its the best beverage ive ever tasted. I go to sonic just for that drink (cause the food kinda sucks). Then i got on and talked to tyler and eileene for a while, and now i have to go do some of my chores.

So this is where this post ends. Now ill just slide to my room.

Byes.

You Say We're Too Young But Maybe Your Too Old To Remember

Well, a boring useless tuesday, in which more work was assigned to us than there has been in the past two weeks combined. I am however, glad to announce that i finished all and am sitting here a free, worry less man. I can just sit back and relax the rest of the night.

Nothing much happened today, except i probably wrote almost 5,000 words today with all the notes there were. I had notes not only in Brazee and chemistry, but in Engineering as well. It sucked. Web masters was really wierd today without Harriman there to brighten it up. Instead we had Charby. Even though hes pretty cool, he lacks Harriman's, well, bounce.

There was also no practice today, which kinda sucked, cause i had to ride my bus home. At least we got our old bus back, because for the last few weeks we've had 335, one of those old ratchety buses. Siiiiigh. Well, nothing much more to talk about, cause life the past two days has been pretty dull. Hopefully that will all change tomorrow at the meet. Its the St. Lucie County Champioships, and i am running the mile and the half-mile. It should be fun. Wish me luck!

Im gonna bring this sad little post to a close, so good night all you readers. Song today is Who's To Say by Vanessa Carlton.

Gooooooooood Night

Feeling All Alone Without A Friend You Know Feel Like Dying

Well, today was really blah. Half asleep throughout the entire day. Today was the Nerd to Retard Transformation test. It was the same lousy crap that its been since third grade.

Well, i don't really have that much to talk about, so i won't. Some new issues presenting themselves, but beaten back by ingenuity. If you can make sense of that, your a psychic.

Song today is I Want You To Want Me by Letters to Cleo.

While Everyones Lost, The Battle Is Won With All These Things That Ive Done

Well, another lazy Sunday, but with a twist. I woke up at 7:15 this morning to go watch my sis's 8:15 basketball game. I was really tired. 13 hours of sleep in two days (with an exhausting track meet in between) can do that to you. Im sorry, let me explain. See, when i posted last night in the lobby, i went back to my room expecting the night to be over. But to my great suprise, my dad said that he wanted to order a movie pay-per-view. We looked at the list, and i saw a movie i didn't get to see while it was in the movie theaters. It was Juno. So we ordered it and stayed up till one watching. It was reeally good. It was that quarky comedy that i just love.

So back to today. After my sis's game (which they lost, but still got runner-up cause there were only two teams in their age bracket), we went to get dunkin donuts. It was really funny cause one of the dad's got a boston creme, only to find there was no creme in the middle. We laughed about that one for a while.

Then we took the long drive home, and when i got home i watched a few mythbusters. Then around five one of the families from basketball came to our house for dinner and pizza (it was the one with the little girl rihanna who i had to entertain last night). So they talked while the other kids played, and of course the little girl made me play with her for an hour and a half. Then around 7:30 they left.

Well anyways, im gonna wrap this up. I didn't do any hw esta fin de semana, but oh well. Sometimes its nice to just relax for a couple of days and not think about that stuff. The song today is...anyone hazard a guess...anyone...? Alright, its All These Things That I've Done by The Killers.

G'night.

edit================
Oh my gosh guys, post number 40. Didn't even realize till afterwards. And 39 straight days. But who's counting?

If I Could Fall Into the Sky, Do You Think Time Would Pass Me By?

Well, today was an unusual saturday (i think i spelt unusual wrong, but theres no spell check on this computer, so give me a break). I woke up at 8:45 and took a shower, had some waffles, and then with my G-ma, we took a long ride to Boca Raton to see my sisters basketball tournament. We got there just in time to watch her second game (the first had been the previous night). They were playing girls who were all taller than me! They lost 51-12. It wasn't pretty. But then we went back to our hotel, and i went in the pool. It would've been cool and relaxing, but all the little girls on the team (their ages 10-12) went with me, so i was like the baby-sitter. I was stuck like that for an hour, until my mom came and relieved me of my duties. Then i decided i needed to go for a run.

It was pretty cool, cause i had no idea where i was, i just sorta made sure i knew how to get back. There was this pond i ran around, and there was this shady corner around the pond, and i went through all nice and happy, and then this explosion of feathers quacks at me, scaring the crap out of me. When i got back, i took a shower and we all went to this place called the macaroni grille, which was in walking distance. I had the tuscan rib-eye, and it was amazing. I sat with Tia-rose and her parents, cause there was no room at my mom and dads table. It was fun, cause her mom is so hysterical all the time, we never stopped laughing.

Then we came back and i decided i wanted to go swimming. Then Tia and Rihanna joined me (Rihanna is the 4-year old sister of one of the girls on the team, Tia runs track with me, also has a sister on the team). That little girl is so funny. She kept saying that tia and i couldn't talk, and we had to behave, or we'd have to go to time-out (the hot tub). A few hours and some very pruny fingers later, we were upstairs watching some law and order. Then tia went back to her room, and i remembered i had to post. So here i am, making this post from the lobby of my hotel, from one of there computers.

Well, the janitor is eyeing me kinda wierd, so im gonna wrap this up and run back to my room really fast like. I was about to type the song of the day, but see if you can figure it out by the title.

Bye Byes y'all.

I'm Gonna Free Fall Out Into Nothing; I'm Gonna Leave This World For A While

Well well well, what a friday. good evenin' ladies and gents, and put your hats up and relax for a while, and take a short glance at my thoughts and feelings on the day in general. All english references aside, it was a pretty good day. The day started out pretty good. In spanish, we finished the dirty dancing movie. Melissa Milford was sooo funny because she was being well, Melissa. If you have class with her you know what i mean.

Then in Spooney we watched the movie we were suppossed to watch yesterday in her class, the one called 'Why Shakespearre'. Then she talked about our silhoutte (Oh my god i can't believe i spelled that right on the first try!) picture that is due after spring break, that apparrently none of her other classes are doing, isn't that nice. Us third period kids always get the short end of the stick.

Then in Gieger it was pretty fun trying to do a lab following the directions of an idiot. Instead of letting use our perfect procedure that i spent an hour and a half on yesterday in harriman, we switched up with someone else's procedure, and they were really underprepared. Oh Well.

Then in harriman, i decided i wanted to do some content, but i didn't want to do a tutorial. So i decided to just try to do so free form stuff. I started out with a few lens flares, and then did a liquify, and went from there. I produced 3 pages of content from that one idea, and even kim said they looked pretty good. Illbe sure to post them on monday when i go to her class.

Then i went to the meet at Lawnwood after school. The meet started with my event, the 4X800 meter relay, which is a relay with 4 guys who each run 2 laps around the track. We won, even though i did horrible. Then i ran again in the mile medley (4 guys, run a 200-200-400-800, i was the 800 leg) about 3 hours later (there was a rain delay), and i did pretty good. We had the lead when i got the baton, but with about a half a lap to go, Brian suarez passed me. I stayed with him up until the last 50 meters, when i hit the wall. But hes the top runner in the state, so i did pretty good considering.

then i did the 4X400 meter relay, and i ran pr (personal record) of 55 seconds flat. since it was the last event, i waited untill they announced the results, and it turned out we had won the whole meet. We went crazy, youd think we'd won the state meet. Then luc gave me a ride to my G-mas house, and here i am typing my blog on my G-mas slow dial-up computer. It took me 15 minutes to get to my posting page. Siiigh.

Ima wrap this up. Song today is Free Falling by Tom Pettey. Go to seeqpod and take a listen.

In A World Where What We Want Is Only What We Want Until It Ours

So, thursday, almost through the tyranny that is our local educational system. Today was pretty fun, and i got an enormous amount of work done. In my first period spanish, we watched Havana Night Dirty Dancing. It was pretty good, and allowed for much ridicule among the class. Then in second, we took a little bit of notes, and i got back my essay and found that i had gotten an 85 on it. Oh well. Then in Spooner (which was across from Engineering today), we watched a movie on Shakespeare that we must have watched a dozen times last year in Mr. Hussan's class. Then with like 5 mintues left in class, she gives us a crossword puzzle and says its due by tomorrow!

In Gieger, Me and Chris Yates created the perfect lab, i mean it, its pretty good. Then i spent all Harrimans working on typing it up. I also found in Harriman that i had a 162.3, which was almost 20 points ahead of Tim, who had a 143.8, so that was pretty cool. Of course, Kim had like a 300.

At practice i found out that i was going to be running in the 4X400 meter relay tomorrow along with my other events. I also found out that it was going to be the slowest team ever, so we're probably going to come in last. Oh well.

I spent almost an hour on facebook tonight messing around with my profile, and taking a trivia on How I Met Your Mother and the Office, two very good shows. Then i finished my hw in Math (which was so hard because Mrs. Reynen was lazy and didn't start our notes until late, so we barely even got started when the bell rang!). I just got finished packing everything for the weekend. After the meet tomorrow, ima stay at my G-mas house for the night, and then we are all going down to Boca Raton (yay for the rats mouth) to watch my sister's basketball tournament. But im just going to chilax and stay in the pool at the hotel. Oh Yeah!

Im gonna go and get some rest for the meet tomorrow, so seeya'll. Song today is Calling All Angels by Train (which made me cry at the end of pay it forward). i'm working on finding a new site to get links to for music, so bare with me.

I'll Just Slide To My Room Where I Will Run Away, Run Away

Wehehhhel, today was infinitely boring. The FCAT torture again. This time it was the math, and it was definitely easier than yesterday, but somehow it took longer to finish. I went extra slow like i wanted to, and i think i aced it. Except i know i got at least one partial on that graphing problem, with the system equations. That one just befuddled me to no end.

Afterwards, i went to engineering for like 10 minutes for a boring review (which we didn't finish), and then off to harrimans, where me and Tim had a content page showdown. Going into the period, both tim and i had 4 pages of content, but i wanted to have more, so while we were waiting for mrs. harriman to finish helping mrs. mauro unpack some things i did another tutorial. So Tim decides he doesn't want to be upstaged, and also does a tutorial. Then i do one, and he another. We go on like this, and he eventually won reaching 10 pages of content to my nine. But when he was explaining how he did the tutorials to Mrs Harriman, he forgot how he did one of them, so she wouldn't give him the credit, and we tied!

Then in Reynen i played some mad speed scrabble with Robby, Tyler, Kim, Josh, and Tim. I was on a roll in one game until i got a Q. Oh well. Practice today was light, just 4 300's at around 45 second pace (with 5 minutes rest), and then 3 whistlers. In a whistler, everyone starts out in a huddle at the 200 meter mark, and we jog slowly and pick up the speed slightly along the way. From the 130 meter mark to the 100 meter mark, someone has to decide they want to start sprinting to the finish, and then everyone has to go catch him. They're pretty fun.

Tonight i came home and totally destroyed Brazee's essay. Wrote the whole thing in an hour and a half. Its 3 pages and just shy of 800 words, but Tyler said i need to elaborate some more, so ill tweak it a little bit.

Soo, ima wrap this doggey up. Song today is Slide by Goo Goo Dolls. Take a listen, cause its a great song.

Love Is Like Oxygen; You Get Too Much You Get Too High, Not Enough And You Can't Survive

Ahh, FCAT's. 4 periods wasted a day and no homework. Gods gift to kids. It was sooo easy and i got to sleep a lot. It was nice. Engineering was lacksadaisical, and in web masters i did some work on a way to make a color pic b&w. It was a little fun. I also did another page of content. woot woot.

In math i got back my test and found i had a 95 (with the points unfortunately). They were dumb mistakes too, like i put the wrong letter down, and i multiplied wrong. Oh well, i know i won't make those mistakes tomorrow, cause ima go extra slow.

Practice today was over fast, at like 3:30, but i had to wait for my mom to pick me up, so Josh, Luc, Ebanx, Landon, and Alex yesulitis all had a long jump competition. I was in the lead for a while, but then Alex ended up jumping really far in the end, and beating all of us. Im still trying to get the sand out of my shoes.

I came home, and then i sorta loafed around for 2 hours, at some dinner, played some Who has the Biggest Brain, and then took a shower. I just got out and have been having a nice convo with Billy (sam's friend from Massachusetts).

Im gonna wrap this up. I realize this post has been somewhat sloppy and all over the place, but im a little loopy right now. Song today is Love Is Like Oxygen by ELO. Unfortunadad, i am unable to find this song again. Go to seeqpod if you really want to listen to it.

Its Like Ten Thousand Spoons When All You Need Is A Knife

Well well, a Monday again. Oh well, i guess the week could only get better. Or could it? Could this all really be a ploy to trick human beings into being huge batteries to power the a.i. that already controls the world? Oh wait, thats the matrix. Maybe theres a secret underground facility that is planning a deadly T-virus that will turn the entire world into zombies! Nevermind, thats Resident Evil.

All apocalypse theories aside, today does restart the cycle that is inevitably apart of every child's life in someway or another. The cycle of the a kid waking up every morning 5 days a week to be spoonfed knowledge, and lose more brain cells in the process from lack of sleep and crazed school systems. Its archaic i tell you!

Anyways, before that comes a rant... lets get onto the interesting parts of the day. We have FCAT's tomorrow, so naturally every teacher in the school is going crazy making a HUGE deal out of a little test. Please, really? So stupid, im not even going to get into it. But Mrs. Lugo's class was soooo funny today. We had a long discussion that eventually led to Japanese kids who eat cats. Don't even ask how we got there. But it was hilarious.

Day was pretty much the same old-same old, except for in Harrimans when i decided im going to start overachieving in her class. I did three content grades today. You heard me, three. And i got moved to a computer that actually plays sound, but with my luck it will lose it tomorrow. Practice today was a doozy. We did 5 sets of a 4oo-thirty seconds rest-then a 200, with a 1200 rest in between. The pace was 64 for the 400, and 28 for the 200. But, I am happy to announce that i was able to keep pace the entire workout, even going a little under for the 400's. I was rewarded with the post-workout headache i am becoming all too familiar with.

Tonight a strange occurance took place. My cat had gotten out, and i went to chase her, and when i caught her, as i was bringing her inside i noticed the clouds to the northwest of my house were looking really good. So i got the camera and went outside and took a quick look out at to my right, and saw a beautiful rainbow. It was so weird, a rainbow in broad daylight, with no rain preceding it. It was amazing. So i took some great pictures. When i get them onto the computer, ill be sure to put them on (even stranger was the fact that it was gone in less than two minutes, so im gonna find out what happened with that).

So im gonna wrap this up, and go to bed in preparation for the "FCAT's". Song today is Ironic by Alanis Morissette. Take a listen. Now. Just kidding, but please take a listen.
Unfortunately, im having trouble finding a link for this track, so i might post it later if i can find it. But if you want to, you can go to seeqpod.com and check it out!

So Take These Words And Sing Out Loud

Well, you gotta love Sundays. They serve the beautiful purpose of total relaxation. Usually I enjoy my Sundays by sitting on my butt and watching some tv while eating almost non-stop. Then ill usually go running around five. And thats basically all i did today. Except for doing Brazee's essay in under a half hour. It actually isn't that bad either. Well, i also took some pretty good pictures of the sunset, although i had to bike a mile to get a good shot. It was worth it though, cause the sunset tonight was b-e-a-utiful.

Anyways, there isn't really much to report on today, as there isn't really much that happened. Oh, but i did watch The Rundown, which i haven't seen in too too long. Gosh that movie makes me laugh. But i think im gonna wrap this whole thing up for now. The song for today is Better Days by Goo Goo Dolls. Take a listen.

I'm A Sycophantic Courtier With An Elegant Repose

So, how are you doing blog reader. Your probably pretty bored if your reading my blog. Well, straying from the all-to-obvious, lets get to today. Today was the Bill Wilson Relays in Sebastian. Its kinda weird waking up at 6:30 on a saturday, but oh well. I ran in the 4X800, the first event. We did pretty good, and we were in first when i handed the baton off to the anchor leg, Lucas. But the guy from the other team destroyed us, and we came in second. Thats okay, cause we got a shiny silver medal for our efforts.

A few hours of huddling up underneath the stadium to get out of the wind and then i ran again, this time in the Steeplechase. The steeplechase is probably the most interesting race i have ever run. Basically it is a two mile race (around 7 and a half laps around a track), but the trick is there are hurdles three lanes wide in 4 spots around the track. And also, there is a final hurdle on the first curve, which is special, because directly behind the hurdle is a water pit that is 4 feet deep behind the hurdle, and then gently slopes out. It was crazy fun. The first lap i was running and everyone was so bunched up that when we got to the water hurdle, i messed up and ended up falling waist deep in the pit. Now, it was 60 degrees out with a 20 mph wind, so i was a little cold after that. The rest of the race went pretty fine, and there was this kid who was running in front of me that jumped over the water hurdle and did a flip cannon ball into it. It was crazy!

The event was scored by adding up the time of the runners participating. My team of three (me, Davis Mahon, and Lucas Simari) came in second, and i got my second silver of the day. It was pretty nice. Then i went home and have been surfing the internet for the past few hours, pausing in between to watch a little tv here and there. Well, i have to write an essay for brazee, but i really don't wanna, and im probably gonna end up putting it off till tomorrow night. Oh well, i am a artisan in the way of the procrastination. Its a curse.

Well, ima wrap this doggy up, so thanks for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts. Song for today is Come Undone by Vanessa Carlton. Enjoy. Unfortunately this song is also not on project playlist, so ima have to find an alternative source of links from now on.

A Vida Sin and goodbye

Or Am I Standing Still?

Wellllllll, today was much longer than it seemed to be. Not really, but sometimes i just have things in my head i wanna say, even though they make no sense. I can't help it. Oh well.

Today in third period Mrs. Spooner gave us another illustration assignment, this time for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Its not that i don't like assignments like this, its just that it frustrates me. I am a horrible drawer. I have no misconceptions about this. But i always have a vision of what i want to draw, what i feel would be a great response for assignments like this, but irritatingly enough, i am unable to put these feelings down on the paper visually. I could probably write a thousand words to describe it, but i can't ever give you a visual representation close to what i aim for. It frustrates me to no end. Every time i try to attempt to, it comes out horribly wrong. Aaaahhhhhh. Siiiiigh.

Onwards. The day was pretty normal, except i spent at least 2 and a half hours playing 3D logic 2. I was bored in Harrimans, so Kim and i played it allllll period. She did slightly better than i. But then when i got to Reynen, i was already finished with the FCAT practice test, so she let me get on the computer and i played it alllll period. It was pretty good. Then i went to practice, and then afterwards we had smoothie day. See, it was a tradition started back during cross country season. The day before a meet, we would all go to Lucas' house, and have some smoothies and watch Southpark and Mythbusters. This is the first smoothie day of the Track season, and hopefull there will be many more to come. We played some Call of Duty 4 and watched some crazy videos on youtube (including tree man, its crazy you gotta check it out).

Well, im gonna go to bed to get ready for the meet tomorrow, so ima get some z's. Bye y'all.
Song today is Standing Still by Jewel. But unfortunately, this is the first song i am unable to find on project playlist. Ill try and find it, if i do, ill put it on later.

Say you Say me Say goodbye

ps. i finally was able to play a game of Who Has The Biggest Brain on facebook and get all of my best categories. It showed, cause i got a 2109! But im still 4th behind Christopher Robin, Bubbles, and Kusie. Im gettin there though.
